i know.. thats why i didnt pay a dime to get it fixed

 

So then why "Ichiba extended lugs = FAIL?" It's more likely that the install caused the problem, not the studs.

 

nah.. i never made a thread.. lol.. i think Levon (Donpisto) is who you are thinking of.. his whole tire just slid off his rim..

but either way thanx man.. im glad im back in the G game hahaha.. i missed it dearly..

 

Are you the one who bought Paul's wheels??

Didn't hit me til I saw Amp'd in your sig.

 

well because even tho i could be the install.. i have re-searched a bit and have found similar cases like mine that all involved ichiba spacers or adapters..

the worst one i found was a 4runner that actually had its wheel pull completely off and then crash into a car and then the truck its self slid into 2 cars..

and also read a case where 5 lug adaptors had issues with a 240sx, they kept destroying the bearings on the hubs..

and also found a few cases where there was a vibration occurring that ended up being the studs coming loose...

im not saying ALL of them are bad but from what i managed to read all the cases that included the studs.. each one pointed out that when they installed the studs they would simply slide right in.. or they were able to wiggle it in significantly before they had to torque them in..

so for those of you who purchase from them just look out for that..

also.. im sure the V2 with built in studs are fine.. i used the ones with extended lugs..

but then again.. could be faulty studs or could be bad installation.. honestly in the end we really dont know.. yet i feet it was the studs because i saw how they were installed and i had just recently replaced 3 studs up from because the tire shop messed them up with OEM studs and those i installed myself.. so i know how its supposed to be done..

 

lol Yep... sure did... but even tho i got them off his 370 the offsets are good fro track on the G.. and if i want it to be flush the front just needs a 15mm spacer or i can 20mm

specs are

20X11 +15 rear
20X10 +30 front

 

Pretty good amount of stretch with your setup.

Anyway, good luck with everything!

 

Not bad. I swear I don't know if it's just me, but I think you need spacers in the front.

 

Yeah I plan on throwing 20mm spacers up front to be a bit more flush

 

I like the wheels but those tires look scarry small.

 

I have 20mm spacers when your ready. Wheels look awesome in person! and I'm picky on wheels.

 

Where did u get the blue nuts ??.. It looks cool on OEM 19 inch rims

 

i thought those G2's wouldn't look good on our coupes but you convinced me otherwise

i woulda gone with meatier tires... now get those 20-mm spacers! i might have some for sale too in a bit.

 

Awesome wheels and brakes! Wish I had the funds for Endless

 

sick wheels but tires are too small... the brakes are dope where did you order them and how much?
